Role Model ’s Kansas Anymore is more than just a pop album; it’s a testament to the artist’s emotional depth and musical evolution. As the North American leg of his “No Place Like Tour” begins tonight in Phoenix, the sold-out tour is a celebration of both his personal journey and his growing fanbase, which has swelled after the release of his sophomore album and viral tracks like “Sally, When The Wine Runs Out.”
The track “Sally” has garnered over four million streams globally, marking Role Model’s biggest hit to date. Its sunny disposition and infectious rhythm have made it a staple on Spotify’s Pop Rising and Breaking Hits playlists, further cementing his place in the pop scene. The video for “Sally,” where Role Model dances through a Los Angeles mall, adds a quirky layer to his music, blending feel-good vibes with playful irreverence.
The “No Place Like Tour” follows a year of explosive growth for Role Model, who supported Gracie Abrams on her sold-out fall tour. Now headlining, he’s set to hit major venues like The Wiltern in Los Angeles and The Brooklyn Paramount in New York, supported by rising star Debbii Dawson. His fans, many of whom discovered him through his heartbreak-fueled Kansas Anymore, are eager to experience the album live, with its folk-tinged pop melodies and raw lyrics about love and loss.
Role Model’s ability to connect with listeners on a personal level is part of his allure. His authenticity, paired with his ever-expanding audience, promises an exciting future. With major festivals like Governors Ball and Bonnaroo on the horizon, Role Model’s rise is only just beginning. As his sound continues to evolve, it’s clear that this artist’s sincerity and vulnerability are what make him stand out in today’s fast-moving music industry.
